Sold Out
For sale here is an H.L. Leonard 7'6" 2/2 5wt bamboo rod in excellent condition. This is a Ted Simroe-era rod, made in the early 1970's. No indication of the model, but it appears to be a 39H. Blonde cane with dark guides wrapped in crimson windings & black tipping. Blued 13/64 ferrules fit perfectly. The sections are full length and serialized (#1254), and the butt has a subtle downward set. The original owner's name is inked on the butt. 5.5" grip is soiled but smooth, and the rod is fitted with a down-locking aluminum reel seat over butternut spacer. HL Leonard roll stamp is crisp and clear on the nickel silver butt cap. A nimble 5wt with a lightly swelled butt, the weight is 4oz on the nose. A pleasant 7'6" rod, it will feel at home on a variety of waters. Sold in the original bag with stiffener and brass capped tube.
